Pump-probe measurements of coherent-phonon-induced changes of refractive index in LaAlO3 are dominated by normally weak boundary effects. Atomic displacements in the range 50–500 μÅ were generated and probed by femtosecond laser pulses through impulsive Raman scattering. The absence of a bulk contribution is ascribed to phase mismatch due to domain disorder. Selection rules are consistent with a Raman model considering reflection and transmission at interfaces. Intensities and phonon parameters as a function of temperature agree well with incoherent Raman data.
